Girish Karnad, Indian playwright
"This book is quite simply the best book I have read on Hinduism in a long time."
Mark Tully, former BBC Dehli Correspondent
"Julius Lipner's book is scholarly but at the same time very readable guide to Hinduism - a religion which is all to often misunderstood and mispresented."
Reader Reviews
I am a Hindu, but know very little of Vedas, Upanishads, the rituals, the festivals, and all the other things that I see being done everyday. This book links all these up telling us how they came to be and how they are related and make sense. This is a serious book. Every chapter took a double read to absorb well. Recommended
